A recent Royal Academy of Engineering report presents ‘evidence-based’ advice to the Government on the opportunities and risks for the engineering sector ‘post-Brexit’.
A report published recently by the Royal Academy of Engineering in the wake of June’s ‘Brexit’ vote – which draws on the input of all 38 professional UK engineering organisations – presents ‘evidence-based’ advice to the Government on both the opportunities and risks associated with leaving the EU. The RAE says it hopes the report, Engineering in a future outside the EU, ‘will support government in securing from the negotiations the best possible outcome for the UK’, with job creation and economic prosperity at the top of the agenda. HEJ editor, Jonathan Baillie, reports.
The report – to which IHEEM contributed views and input as one of the 38 professional UK engineering organisations – was compiled in the second half of 2016 ‘following extensive consultation with engineers working in all areas of the profession’. Its publication on 17 October 2016 preceded, by just a few months, the planned launch in March of a separate important report on ‘A systems approach to designing and delivering health and care’ jointly produced by the Royal Academy of Engineering, IHEEM, CIBSE, and IHEEM* (see text box, page 45).
One of the major avenues for research and views for the Engineering in a future outside the EU report already published was the ‘Engineering the Future’ alliance.
